contents Modern engineering design platforms excel at discipline-specific tasks such as CAD, CAM, and CAE, but often lack native systems engineering frameworks. This creates a disconnect where system-level requirements and architectures are managed separately from detailed component design, hindering holistic development and increasing integration risks. To address this, we present the conceptual framework for the GenAI Workbench, a Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) environment that integrates systems engineering principles into the designer's workflow. Built on an open-source PLM platform, it establishes a unified digital thread by linking semantic data from documents, physical B-rep geometry, and relational system graphs. The workbench facilitates an AI-assisted workflow where a designer can ingest source documents, from which the system automatically extracts requirements and uses vision-language models to generate an initial system architecture, such as a Design Structure Matrix (DSM). This paper presents the conceptual architecture, proposed methodology, and anticipated impact of this work-in-progress framework, which aims to foster a more integrated, data-driven, and informed engineering design methodology.
